#$*)%## PAIN #&%$*$%&

She looks so nice & innocent, but do you see that evil glimmer in her eye?
OMG. Ariane is out of control. She's been possessed! My ass will never be the same (hmmm...perhaps that's not entirely bad? Though I hear I have a good one ;-) ). I couldn't walk down the stairs to the subway after bootcamp this morning - my legs were that wobbly. The water bottle was almost too heavy to bring to my lips.

We did 200 donkey-kick-type exercises on each side IN ONE GO (for reference...after 50 you kinda wanna knock yourself over the head with a dumbbell). Afterwards, all 15 of us bootcampers collapsed in a whimpering heap. Instead of going into child's pose, which is what we typically do to stretch out, it was more like we fell into the fetal position wondering how our lives had come to this. And, meanwhile, Ariane is happily doing these exercises alongside us...and GIGGLING. WTF.

Donkey-kicks, countless squats and squat jumps, even more lunges, tons of rows, chest presses, pec flies, ab exercises galore, and just to really finish us off 200 push-ups. I'm so scared of next time.
